SINGAPORE: Taiwan has removed Singapore, Malaysia and a host of other countries from an initial list of nations announced as eligible for visa-free entry starting next week.<\/p>\n
On Monday (Sep 5), a table published online by Taiwan’s\u00a0Bureau of Consular Affairs showed that visitors from\u00a0Singapore and Malaysia, among other countries, were allowed to travel to the island visa-free and stay for up to 30 days.<\/p>\n
Japan and South Korea were also named in a larger grouping of countries whose nationals would be eligible for visa-free entry to Taiwan and to stay for up to 90 days.<\/p>\n
But on Tuesday, the webpage was updated to reflect that\u00a0Taiwan would be “temporarily suspending” visa-free entry for visitors from the countries named above, as well as\u00a0Chile, Dominican Republic, Israel, Nicaragua, Thailand, Brunei, the Philippines and Russia.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Taipei Representative Office in Singapore said on Tuesday that a press release on the adjustment of border control measures issued on Monday had been “misunderstood”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Some media and the public misunderstood that from Sep 12, Singaporeans can enter Taiwan without a visa.<\/p>\n
“After coordination and communication with the Consular Affairs Bureau, the (information) has been corrected … to clarify the misunderstanding,” the office said in a statement to the media.<\/p>\n
CNA has also contacted Taiwan’s Bureau of Consular Affairs for more information.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Taiwan announced it would resume visa-free entry for visitors from several countries starting on Sep 12, as it continues to ease controls put in place to contain the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
The decision was made based on the fact that most countries around the world have already reopened their borders and resumed pre-pandemic border measures; along with the need to balance epidemic prevention, economic and social activities and international exchanges.<\/p>\n
Travellers to Taiwan however will still be required to undergo three days of quarantine and take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test upon arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The cap of 50,000 arrivals a week will also remain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taiwan has already ended the requirement for pre-departure negative PCR tests.<\/p>\n
Before the pandemic, Taiwan was a popular tourist destination for mainly Asian visitors, with Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia the most important markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
